America Again Wins,

New YORK, September 3o-In the in
ternational yacht race to-day the Volun-
teer again defeated the Thistle. The wind
was blowing gale during the entire race
The rain and fog had the effect of driving
away the crowds from the excursion
steamers that were to accompany the
yachts. The associated press tug followed
the races and had on board a plentiful
supply of carrier pigeons by which the
crowds on shore were kept informed of
the progress Of the race.

The Permanent Way.

Before taking his departure for st. Paul
Mr.. J. J. Hill expressed his determination
to proceed with the work of constructing
the permanent line without delay. He is
far from satisfied with the heavy grade
necessitated by coming up Government
coulee, but that route was adopted to
save time, and hurry on the work of con
struction beyond. The present Temporal
ry bridges over the Marias and Teton will
be replaced by substantial iron structures,
a tunnel built through the Cracon-du-
Nez, and the permanent line brought
along the Missouri river into the city linn
it's, following the foot of the bluffs to
point where the depot is at present locat-
ed. The final decision on this project
will be a matter of satisfaction to all of
our citizens, and we may look for large
force of men to be employed on this work
during the next few months.

At the Depot Grounds.

The pay car of Sheppard, Winston &
Co. and D. Grant & Co. is at the Benton
depot grounds paying all hands to date
Mr.. W. L. Peck, the efficient paymaster
is dispatching business with great rapid

is not flooded with railroad money for the

THE FRONT YARD.
The front yard was moved to the Benton
depot last night. The RIVER Press had q
pleasant call from Mr.. r. J. Trumbull, To-
comotiVe foreman, from whom we were
enabled to gather some interesting details
regarding the general makeup of what is
known as the ''front yard" Ten locomo-
tives are used, each with an engineer, fire
man and Watchman. There is one ma
chinist, one boiler maker and two assist
ants, and one boiler washer This is
known as the locomotive department and
is under charge of Mr.. Trumbull, with
thirty five men under him.
The traffic department is under charge
of L. H. Sullivan, general yard master,
who has two assistant yard masters one
night yard master, five switchmen, and
four men to coal up engines and supply
tanks in all thirteen men under him.
The telegraph department has one day
and one night operator.
The train at the extreme front with the
track layers is considered a part of the
front yard and consists of sixteen cars, in
charge of Conductor Farrell.
The bridge builders supply train, under
Conductor Grady, is also a part of the
front yard and usually handles each day
thirty-five cars of bridge material, of ties
fifty cars, steel twenty-four cars, and tel
egraph material, six cars, making one hun
dred and fifteen cars of material used at
the extremefront every day.
There are eight trains per day which
arrive at the front yard direct from Minot
which bring about thirty cars each. and
eight trains of "empties" leave the front
yard every day for Minot. The locomo-
tives in use are the American standard
Brooks and Pittsburg patterns, 17x34
cylinders and five feet drive wheels, and
weigli about 45 tons each.
There is also kept constantly employed
a switch engine, with night and day
crews,tnaking up trains for the front.
For6afan John Atkins, of the spur lay
ing gang, who put in $500 feet of side
track at the depot site the day the silver
spike was driven, is now at the Teton
loading train load of ties for the pur-
pose OF putting in two more side tracks
here. He will soon have them in.
All day and night the whistle of the To-
comotive and the rumble of wheels can
be heard as trains move in and out of the
yards. truly a strange sound to Benton
ears, but one which is very grateful and
reassuring; making US feel that we are at
last linked to the great railroad systems
of the American continent, and that we
can, figuratively speaking, stake the wings
of the morning and fly away to the utter
most parts of the earth"

necessary to the successful teaching, be it
ResoIeed, That we as teachers do most
heartily condemn those, who from care

any excuse whatever, except illness of
themselves or family, failed to meet at the
call of our county superintendent to as
sist her in the discharge of her duty, and
inform themselves by contact and ex-
change of ideas and experiences, in the
advance made in this great work of edu-
eating the masses, second only to the pull
pit. We, therefore, as body. do urge the
territorial superintendent, aided by the
county superintendent, if it has not al

Of the representatives of Fort Benton is

of the representatives of Fort Benton is
especially significant.
The spike to be used to bind these rails
to-day is pure silver, the product Of our
county, refined Of all impurities by the
process Of chemistry. No filter symbol
could have been found; it, to the very
highest degree possible, exemplifies the
spirit OF our meeting here. 1t is fitting
symbol of the friendship of Fort Benton
towards the Manitoba system of railroads
"a friendship which, if it ever contained
any base metal in the form of indifference
or dissatisfaction, has been long since
tested in the crucible of contact and re-
fined by mutual confidence and mutual
interests, and which, like unto this spike,
wears long, and will, [ trust last for ages.
At the close of Jude Tattan's address,
the silver spike was presented to Mrs. j. J.
Hill, wife of President Hill, to whose fair
hands had been assigned the pleasing task
Of driving it, which she did with much
modesty and grace amid the laundering
cheers of the assembled multitude. Mrs
Hill then presented the silver spike, and
the hammer which had driven to Mayor
Sullivan for the city of Fort Benton, with
the request that they be preserved in the
historical archive of the city.
At the close of each address and after
the spike was driven the magnificent Goth.

rendered. We have had occasion before
to speak in the same terms Of this band,

a number of beautiful and fragrant bou-
quets which had been gathered in the
open air from their garden in Fort Ben
ton. One of the bouquets was placed by
the side Of the silver spike during the
ceremony, and it's flowers were divided
among the ladies present as soven!rs
of the never to be forgotten occasion.
At the close of the ceremonies at the
track, the procession again formed and
gaily back to the Grand Union

with grand ball at the hotel, which
proved to be a most delightful affair and

The First Passenger Train at Benton.

A party of gentlemen Friday night spent
two or three hours at the depot grounds
in carriage awaiting the arrival of the
first special through passenger train from
Benton to st. Paul. The party consisted
of landlord. an Indian agent, stock in
spector and a miserable newspaper man.
AS the hours passed and adj the stories
had been told and cigars burned up, and
still President Hills train did not arrive
from the Eight Mile Springs, the party
began to become impatient. The lnspec
tor "skirmished" and found that the
train that was just slowly moving off the
back to the carriage, seized his little grip,
and sang out, Good bye, boys! I'm going
| to take this train!' and he was seen in the
bright moonlight to strike out at regu-
the distance the landlord suggested that
he would probably walk back-which he
did in the course of fifteen minutes,
sadder and wiser man, with the remark

grade in the Government coulee before
he got there" OF course there was big
laugh at his expense, as he quietly took
his seat in the carriage and
held the horses, while the others
of the party pranced around
over the prairie to keep warm. A shrill
piercing shrek rent the night air away off
to west, when the landlord yelled: "here
she comes, boys, get your valieses!" A
wild rush to the carriage followed and
overcoats and grips were hurridly seized
as if a 'lightning express" with only half
a minute to stop, was approaching. The |
boys never found out they were sold till |
the balance of the coyotes took up the
shrill unearthly howl of their leader and
wound the chorus up with the sharp quick |
barks peculiar to animals OF course the
joke was on the landlord and he was un-
mercifully guyed for not knowing the yelp

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
A Re-Arrangement of Northwestern Traffic.

ST. PAUL, September 30-The not i'm
probable alliance between the Northern
Pacific and the Wisconsin Central is agi-
tating the other roads to Chicago eonsid-
erably. All of them are anxious to know
how they are going to get their share of
the far western traffic and the constantly
increasing business of the Manitoba with
its western extension to Helena, becomes
a prize we'll worth reaching for. In this
congection the Chicago Times gives cur
rency to the following bit of gossip: 1T
is a we'll known fact that Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy stock holders are large
ly interested in the Manitoba road and
it is whispered that in the event of the
Northern Pacific scheme being carried
out, whereby all of it's through business is
to be turned over to the Wisconsin Cen
tral, the same programme may be adopt
ed in relation to the Manitoba and the
Burlington & Northern. The matter was
agitated some eight months ago, but it
was not then considered good policy as
the traffic derived from the Northern Pa
cifc sources was much greater in vol
ume, and the share in the distribution to
the Chicago and st. Paul roads received
by the Burlington & Northern worth
more than any possible profit to be got
from monopoly Of the traffic of the
Manitoba. The new move of the North
ern Pacific would force the same between
the Manitoba and Burlington & Northern,
and besides the Manitoba with the Mon
tana extension, will actively compete with
the Northern Pacific for a portion of its
far western trade, thusmaking it's through
traffic more valuable than in the past. A
A Encouragement of the northwestern
roads may be looked for in the next few
months"

A Rich City.

The Denver papers make great ado over
the assessed wealth of that city, which is
fixed by this years assessment at $50, ,414,-
$40. The population of Denver the same
paper puts at $4,000 souls, and taking
these figures as a basis it performs little
mathematical calculation which shows,
supposing the wealth to be divided equally
among the inhabitants, that each man, wo-
man and child in Denver would have the
snug sum of s44268. This is indeed a
large showing per capita, and one Of which
any city might be proud; but Helena can
beat it. Our city's assessable wealth this
year is s8,0O0,OOO, and, figuring our popu-
lation at 1900, fair estimase, we find
that our wealth per capita is something
over S615, or almost third again as large
as that of which Denver boasts. If our
Colorado friends are figuring up wealthy
cities, here is something for them to pom
der over.-Herald.
